Dale was born and educat

Anita and Dale were married in Minneapolis, MN and then moved to Fort Worth, TX with employment at General Dynamics – now Lockheed. Bell Helicopter was his next employer from which he retired. He retired in 1999 and spent his retirement years enjoying many adventures. His love of travel brought them to six continents. Dale loved life and many aspects of it. He loved spending time at the cabin at Lake Weatherford, deer hunting, vacations at Surfside, cruises, traveling in the travel trailer, going to art museums, concerts, poker with “the boys”, couples bridge, and volunteering at Bass Performance Hall. He especially enjoyed family gatherings.
He will be remembered for his quick wit, an infectious smile, and a great sense of humor. He never met a stranger and enjoyed socializing. He was the best husband, dad, and friend anyone could ask for. Most of all, he was a very loving, caring father who was generous with his family. He loved his family unconditionally. Dale will be missed.
